Iām failing to see how that article proves your premise that making the SRS more accessible to more people by going to a more online presence is going to destroy
ETA: I would like to see you explain how making it more accessible is such a problem, not post some long article and expect us to make sense out of it.

Did you read this article? Not sure if you meant to post this one, or if Iām missing something, but this article largely talks about Andreas training competition riders. It supports the idea that transferring knowledge from the SRS to outside riders is beneficial.

I audited a clinic with Andreas Hausberger years ago. He was wonderful, if harsh on some folks.

Heās seems like a (good) character.
Whatās also interesting in that article is that he states horses are started too late in training and then rushed into the later stages to GP. Does not think 8 year olds are too young to do GP. States training should start sooner. That coincides with a lot of āclassicalā dressage people who think competitive dressage pushes horses too early. (I use quotations because I think dressage is dressage).
Itās an interesting interview.

Yes, still in existence and still amazing. They have the baroque riding center which is no longer the main āall sportā training center but reserved for the actual cadre noir. (The official training center is down the road just a bit and still AMAZINGLY cool.)

Itās the national training center and did I say 500 times already that it is amazing? We did one competition there years ago and have been hankering to get back since then. Unfortunately Saumur vaulting is the same weekend as World Cup Omaha this year. But anyway, they teach mastery of all things horse and you can go train with them.
IMHO, skip Paris, go to Saumur!
